Iphone's and Paris Hilton get mega TV air time. Economic issues, RED China and complex financial instruments get very little TV air time.
Is it the media's fault or the TV viewers that make the ratings?

Apple's (APPL) highly touted iPhone "all but sold out" its initial shipment in both Apple and AT&T (ATT) stores after just three days of sales, the companies said Monday.
Neither Apple nor AT&T disclosed precise sales figures. Tech and telecom analysts estimated sales of 500,000 to 700,000 units of the combination phone, iPod and pocket Internet device by Sunday.

It's no wonder materialistic pleasures such as Paris Hilton news and IPhones are covered more than hard issues that could potentially, if reported abundantly, spark a Government overthrow, such as the illegal, morally corrupt, and unconstitutional reasons for war, Government cover ups exposed, unconstitutional laws being enforced, or very important economic issues that also show corruptness.......

Certainly they don't want to honestly comment on economic issues, as it might reduce consumer confidence and willingness to purchase the products advertised by their advertisers. They certainly don't want to broadcast anything that would cast doubts on the soundness of these new financial "innovations", since the networks are invested in them themselves. And they don't want to broadcast anything that would make China look bad, as it might lead to the most 'heinous' enemy of the rich Corporate elite: Protectionism. Heaven forbid they'd broadcast something that would support "protecting" American workers, instead of protecting American multinational investors.

I guess I am a little bit to nutty to just say that?
